My Amityville Horror Trailers

For the first time in 35 years, Daniel Lutz recounts his version of the infamous Amityville haunting that terrified his family in 1975. George and Kathleen Lutz's story went on to inspire a best-selling novel and the subsequent films have continued to fascinate audiences today. This documentary reveals the horror behind growing up as part of a world-famous haunting and while Daniel's facts may be others' fiction, the psychological scars he carries are indisputable. Documentary filmmaker Eric Walter has combined years of independent research into the Amityville case along with the perspectives of past investigative reporters and eyewitnesses, giving way to the most personal testimony of the subject to date.

The documentary itself addressed some good points about the Lutz family. Is it possible they were experiencing financial trouble? Was George Lutz into sadistic occults? Danny Lutz was the main focus of the documentary, which was the mistake of the producers. The emotions seemed WAY too exaggerated and forced, which made me skeptical of his words. It wouldn't have been as bad if they would have taken bits and pieces of what he said to paint a picture of what happened, but don't let him keep talking in front of a camera. Towards the end, a producer/camera man asked if we was willing to take a lie detector test. Danny Lutz became very abrasive and defensive. It was to the point that the producer was defending himself over the question he asked, but it was mainly that Danny Lutz was avoiding an answer to the question. Simple as that.If the film's purpose was to make me even more of a skeptic, it worked.

This is what happens when a guy with a severe mental illness is given attention and a camera is shoved into his face.He just makes up stories that are based off watching the Amityville movies, his real experience of living in the house and the Jay Anson book. He revels in the fact that he is the boy from the movie, he even knows all about the remake, he loves the attention the case has brought and this is obvious.He will (and does) say anything that he thinks will get a response from the interviewer then it all leads to him being asked if he would take a lie detector, and he reacts as anyone who has been lying would, he flips out.If you have 88 minutes to listen to a guy make up fantastical stories then watch this otherwise avoid and watch the Margot Kidder film.

i have no doubt D.Lutz had these horrific experiences, but most of this film was lashing out at his stepfather. Not a scare or a "how or why did this happen" no answer just venting . an hour or so long therapy session. sorry i had high hopes for this, fell flat felt bit sorry for him, he childhood was so unstable poured over into his adult life it seems. hard to distinguish the truth from angry ravings. D Lutz seemed so overwhelmed by unresolved issues with his mother and stepfather it overshadowed his experiences in Amityville. Not too much about the haunting or why they actually left the house. revisiting with the original demonoligsts was pretty neat

I found this to be so annoying and nothing but nonsense. Daniel has the most annoying habit of being so menacing and trying so hard to make everyone look at him throughout. He sounds like he just didn't like his stepfather and could not be happier in making him look as bad as possible. Everyone in this "documentary" looks like they are just out for the attention with the exception of the last psychologist who pegged him exactly...he was a bad kid looking for attention.He makes sure throughout too show his guitar playing talent which has little or nothing to do with anything...and Lorraine Warren had nerve chastising the crew who said they didn't believe in God...that is their right just like it was his right to bring up all this past garbage to keep himself relevant...exactly how much did he get paid? Marv Scott was also on the money...they were there with an entire crew and saw nothing...would like too know who approached who in making this. Especially love how he won't take a lie detector at the end...and gets in the face of the crew member who asked him to...again with the menacing garbage...this guy is such a tool
